Dear God
God they say you are everywhere
And yet you are only one
You can be in heaven or on earth
Under the sea or in the sky
All at once and yet you are only one
God before they brought you to us
What, some centuries ago?
We had our Gods here, so many of them
There was no shortage of Gods
God you must have lived in Europa and Arabia
Coz you came from there, and when you got here
Our Gods were condemned
They were Gods of evil and Gods of darkness
But look God, these Gods would give us food amidst famine
They would give us rain amidst drought
They would heal our ailments and restore our health
They would give us peace, love and harmony
What new did you bring us?
If you want us to love each other
Why don’t you love your fellow Gods?
If you want us to live in harmony
Why do you despise your fellow Gods?
You gave us dominion over all things
You gave us minds, intellect, and reason
But hate it when we question you
Displeased with our arguing and reasoning with you
God you are the fairest of all, they say
But how can you be so to both
My foe and myself?
We both pray to you, don’t we?
Whose prayer goes through dear God?
I always wonder how you handle dilemma
You brought us your only son Jesus
I wonder who I am to you then
Anyway, your only son came for our salvation
But God your son is abused, he is the reason we are fooled
We are drunk with his blood, guess we’ve had too much of it
No more do we see, hear, think, or feel
